I did one of these last year, and I'm doing one this year! I'm also going to take a page from @slag's book and aim to complete over 100 games this year. Will I reach my lofty goal? Who knows! We'll find out together.
Just a little note; I'll also include games that I've finished before only if I've finished them more than once, on a harder difficulty and/or if I've 100% cleared them. This'll also include episodic stuff like Broken Age or The Fall if additional episodes get released this year.
EDIT: Slowly going back and adding times but due to this being a last minute effort (and most games not keeping a good record of how long you played them) it's going to be a rough estimate.
Steam usually keeps track of how long you've played (thankfully!) but in the instances where I am just making a blind guess I will let you know! I will also put any in-game times I find for
I'll be measuring the totals in 3 different ways; the Low Estimate (the sum of all the lowest times available), the High Estimate (the sum of all the highest times available) and the Grand Total (sum of the total time played for each game, in instances where I kept playing after I completed it or completed a game multiple times).
January - Low Estimate: 39 hours. High Estimate: 41 hours.
February - Low Estimate / High Estimate: 20 hours.
March - Low Estimate: 20 hours. High Estimate: 22 hours.
April - Low Estimate: 63 hours. High Estimate: 85 hours.
May - Low Estimate / High Estimate: 46 hours.
June - Low Estimate: 105 hours. High Estimate: 110 hours.
July - Low Estimate: 54 hours. High Estimate: 57 hours.
August - Low Estimate: 154 hours. High Estimate: 159 hours.
September - Low Estimate / High Estimate: 98 hours.
October - Low Estimate: 123 hours. High Estimate: 125 hours.
November - Low Estimate: 86 hours. High Estimate: 97 hours.
December - Low Estimate: 129 hours. High Estimate: 142 hours.
And with a little bit of addition we can see that I spent somewhere between 937 and 1,002 hours finishing all of these games at least once. The grand total of time I spent playing all of the games on this list adds up to 1,236 hours (provided I added everything up correctly).
That's an obscene amount of hours.

Date completed: Jan. 2nd I finished this game last year but I just finished it for the 5th (?!) time. A hardcore mode was also recently added that I plan on going through at some point. Time Notes: Beaten multiple times over the course of the year. An average run takes me about 4 hours. LE/HE: 4h GT: 36h
Date Completed: Jan. 3rd Time Notes: Completed once. LE/HE/GT: 8h
Date completed: Jan. 4th Time Notes: Completed once. Endgame save file displays a time of 5:01:23. Currently playing the Plague Knight campaign. LE/HE: 5h GT: 8h
Date Completed: Jan. 4th I have only completed two legs of the 4 in Fotonica but I plan to go back and finish them all, I'll remove it from this list if I don't. EDIT 1/5: I've completed every level on every difficulty that sounds like "complete" to me! Every element just gels together so nicely in this game, I feel like everybody's slept on it. Undeservedly so, this game rules. Time Notes: Completed every level. Played pretty infrequently after I finished it, so I'm taking some guesses on this one. LE: 3h HE: 5h GT: 7h
Date completed: Jan. 5th I've been playing Ultra (STFU) and finished the regular mode, can't say if I'll ever go back and finish Ultra mode or the Hella Deck. This is game is totally rad though! Time Notes: Completed once. LE/HE/GT: 5h
Completed: Jan. 14th Time Notes: Completed once. LE/HE/GT: 10h
Completed: Jan. 23rd Man, this game is wild! It's brutal as hell but so much fun to play, I'm seriously wondering why I haven't played it until now... Time Notes: Completed once. LE/HE/GT: 4h
Completed: Jan. 24th I'd say that I enjoyed this game despite it's technical shortcomings. A lot of the steam reviews (that I haven't read) are mostly negative but I think they're probably being too harsh. This game is weird as hell but it's not exactly the kind of weird that appeals to most people. Time notes: Speedrun multiple times. An average run takes a little under 2 minutes. LE/HE: 2m GT: 4h
Completed: Feb. 15th This was my first Metal Gear game! Not very surprising since I didn't grow up with my own PSX/PS2 but I'm not really complaining. It played well (like most Platinum games) and the story was pure nonsense, like I have been conditioned to expect from a Metal Gear game. Time Notes: Completed twice. Each run lasted about 7.5 hours. LE/HE: 7h GT: 15h
Completed: Feb. 18th This one's... alright? I liked it! For some reason I expected a bit more from it. Despite my disillusions though, Strider is a pretty sweet game. Time Notes: Completed once. LE/HE/GT: 5h
